What minimum distance should you separate two sources emitting the same waves with wavelength 5mm in phase such that you obtain

complete destructive interference along the line connecting the sources and to the right of the sources?

To solve this problem we will apply the concept related to destructive interference (from the principle of superposition). This concept is understood as a superposition of two or more waves of identical or similar frequency that, when interfering, create a new wave pattern of less intensity (amplitude) at a point called a node. Mathematically it can be described as

d = n \frac{\lambda}{2}

Where,

d = Path difference

\lambda= wavelength

n = Any integer which represent the number of repetition of the spectrum

In this question the distance between the two source will be minimum for the case of minimum path difference, then n= 1

d = \frac{\lambda}{2}

d = \frac{5*10^{-3}}{2}

d = 2.5mm

Therefore the minimum distance that should you separate two sources emitting the same waves is 2.5mm

A body weighing 250 grams was dropped from a helicopter flying at an altitude of 100 meters. Determine the potential energy of t
kogti [31]

Answer:

the potential energy of this body is 245 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the body, m = 250 g = 0.25 kg

height from which the body was dropped, h = 100 m

acceleration due to gravity, g = 9.8 m/s²

The potential energy of this body is calculated as;

P.E = mgh

substitute the given values and solve for the potential energy of this body;

P.E = 0.25 x 9.8 x 100

P.E = 245 J.

Therefore, the potential energy of this body is 245 J.

A charge of 8.4 × 10–4 C moves at an angle of 35° to a magnetic field that has a field strength of 6.7 × 10–3 T.
sineoko [7]

Answer:10842.33m/s

Explanation:

F=qvBsine

V=f/(qBsine)

V=(3.5×10^-2)÷(8.4×10^-4×6.7×10^-3×sin35)

V=10842.33m/s
